In the last 6 thousand rounds or so that I have fired I have had zero fail to go bang on the first try when shooting Federal and CCI ammo in my pistols along with CCI and Geco in my bolt rifle. This covers the last 4 years of shooting.
There is of course one exception, Winchester made ammo, I used less than 1/4 of a bulk box.. naasty stuff. I got desperate to re supply my stash and found cheap was not worth the hassle. That box was shelved and earmarked as give away. Yes there is junk ammo out there. Yet I'm sure there are as many good brands out there as crummy ones. My advice? ... choose to be picky.
